Hey everyone, I just ordered some Boo and Ipe and am looking for form demensions. I've seen a few forms just made out of a 2x4 with two verticle 2x4's to hold the tips up giving your bow slight reflex. I'm not wanting to try a R/D yet(dont want to ruin my first BBI) but would like to know how much reflex I should be gluing into this bow and how high I need to raise the tips during glue up to achieve some reflex or a straight limbed bow after tillering.

About 3 inches at tips for the reflex.

Wicked will do! I can't wait to get this sucker going. I have been waiting to build one of these for a long time. I just love the look of them!!!
